Trick Or Treat - A Treat Or A Trick?

Oct 28

' “All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up. '
1 Corinthians 10:23

Dear Journey Family…

October 31st is among us one more time. The second most popular and profitable holiday in the United States calendar, just below Christmas.

And every year we see all kinds of costumes being worn and traditions that people hold, decorations hanging and displayed on the porches and front yards with some spooky imagery; some silly but some truly scary and worthy of a haunted house ride.

The fact is, people just love halloween.

What’s not to like? Candy? Dressing up? Hanging out with the neighbors?

However, we do need to be diligent, think and based on what we understand the Bible to teach us, make a decision on where we are standing on this and every other area of our lives, not just on halloween.

What you won’t find in the Bible is “you shall not celebrate Halloween” But we can find wisdom in making a decision taking in consideration what we know about halloween. Is it just a fun celebration for kids to get candy going door to door? Or is there more to it?

This pastor did a deeper study on the subject and has a very objective way of looking at it. Feel free to watch it and draw your own conclusions:

Worship Night

Thank you to everyone that showed up to our Worship Night and specially thank you to Felix and everyone in the band for leading us to God’s presence in worship. What a night to focus on our Savior and our Heavenly Father. If you were able to attend you probably agree that we could feel God’s presence in the room. To Him be the glory and honor for ever.

What are your thoughts on halloween? How has God lead you in that area or in any other area that might not be as black and white as we would like.

Please let us know. We’d love to pray with you.
